00:00that horrible home run derby national anthem yesterday.

00:02That was treason.

00:03Like there are people going back to the foundation of this incredible nation

00:08that we're fortunate enough to live in going back to 1776.

00:12Like there have been people like Benedict Arnold

00:15and there were Russian spies during the Cold War

00:18who were prosecuted for less than the treason that was committed last night.

00:22That was that was a shameful portrayal of our national anthem.

00:28Indeed, no way to put it better.

00:31But now we have to.

00:32I thought she was 12 also.

00:34So I was 32. Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:36I got her age wrong.

00:37Okay, guys. Okay.

00:38Like you said, I couldn't believe she's actually famous for singing.

00:42But I thought maybe like she.

00:43No, I thought something else.

00:45I thought she did something heroic or something like that.

00:47And they let her sing that.

00:48I thought maybe it was like a hawk to a girl or something.

00:50And like, oh, I'm going to let her sing the national anthem. Right.

00:53Well, move over, hawk to a girl.

00:54This girl is a viral sensation.

00:57This is her song with Sam Hunt's Wishful Drinking.

01:01We're going to determine if she is good.

01:04I'm going to play songs from Ingrid all show.

01:06This is number one.

01:07Maybe I'm just wishful drinking.

01:10Get my heart something to say, girl.

01:20I know it's a shot in the dark

01:23looking for what's left of the spark,

01:26throwing them back like I got nothing to lose.

01:28Sounds good there.

01:29Just like you.

01:32Everybody says give it time.

01:36Can I ask you a question?

01:37Tell me about the same person.

01:39That's not.

01:43Gosh, yeah.

01:46She can't go back home for about two years.

01:49Are we sure she's from America?

01:51She is fine from Michigan.

01:52People are saying that was overproduced.

01:54And let me tell you, I've seen that.

01:57I've seen her perform that live.

01:58There's just there's no way.

02:00There's just no way.

02:01I mean, listen, we have two examples.

02:04Yeah. My first introduction to her.

02:07Yeah. Was last night.

02:09Yeah. And then I hear that song today.

02:14And I've got to be thinking

02:15that girl has a producer that should win some type of award.

02:20Yeah, because most people that most people that can sing.

02:25Right.

02:27They usually keep like they may hit some rough spots or whatever,

02:31but the whole song ain't going to be bad.

02:33The whole national anthem.

02:37There was not from the second that started.

02:41I left to go get something to drink.

02:44And she started singing.

02:47And I'm like, oh, they got an eighth grader singing.

02:49Wow. If I were to say to you,

02:54that was a 12 year old that lived through a tragic, tragic event.

02:59Right. You'd be like, OK, good try.

03:01Yeah. And I still would have been like it was a little shaky.

03:03But that's that's maybe she was she was in that tornado.

03:08Marcos had to drive that.

03:10Hey, hey, I know.

03:12That's honestly what I thought.

03:14And that's why I didn't pass any judgment at the moment.

03:16Right. There were people driving.

03:18I was walking by my TV going, oh, that's her.

03:21Yeah, I think that was more than a little shaky.

03:24Somehow, the actual home run derby was worse, which I wasn't expecting.

03:28OK, well, there you go.

03:29And then I don't got what you got for the rest of the night, OK?

03:32Yeah. No, she did you a favor.

03:34Listen, if somebody wants to come to the conclusion that.

03:40She has some great production based on what you heard her singing.

03:46I can't say you're wrong.

03:49Right. Because my only introduction to Ingrid was last night.

03:54Then when I hear this song, it's like that ain't the same person.

04:00That ain't the National Anthem, girl.

04:10Some people like, you know, you want to tell you,

04:13can I just tell you, here's what happens.

04:15Some people like to make it their own song.

04:17It's just not your song.

04:19Right. Here's your song to me.

04:21I'll tell you exactly what happens.

04:22This happens in life, right?

04:24Sometimes it happens in coaching.

04:26Sometimes it happens in businesses, right?

04:30You get a new job, right?

04:32A new task. You want to put your own twist on it, right?

04:37But that's not what you need to do.

04:38Not the song for you to do it.

04:40I don't think I don't think they do that in any other country,

04:43because like I watch a lot of soccer and like when they sing it,

04:46when they do when they do the Italian National Anthem, it's the same song

04:50every time, like you don't you don't have people like, oh,

04:52I'm going to make it a six minute long.

04:54I'm going to add in my own.

04:56You know, they should have added auto tune last.

04:58It would have made it better if there was auto tune.

05:00The Russian song, the Russian National Anthem.

05:02When we go to these fights.

05:04Yeah, the dude was reading it off the iPad while it was singing.

05:07And it took forever and all the Russians were singing it.

05:10Well, and I'm pretty sure like if you don't sing the Russian one

05:13exactly the way it's written, Putin puts you in the gulag.

05:16So you like you have to do that one properly.

05:18Like there's no room for interpretation.

05:20But listen, I don't care how you interpret it.

05:26I don't care what song she was singing last night.

05:29It would have been terrible because she could not sing

05:34for whatever reason.

05:36That's my point.

05:37That she was nervous.

05:41I know why.

05:43But I'm telling you, she's going to sell a lot because of this.

05:46That's it. Everyone should have Sam Hunt sing it. Wait.
